We have signed up today to be a HelpExchange Host. As taken from their webpage, Help Exchange (HelpX), is an "online listing of host organic farms, non-organic farms, farmstays, homestays, ranches, lodges, B&Bs, backpackers hostels and even sailing boats who invite volunteer helpers to stay with them short-term in exchange for food and accommodation."
There are several reasons why we have decided to do this. First and foremost it will give us (well Simon really) some much needed help around the place and notably in the gite. It will also give us the chance to meet people from all over the world, exchange cultural views and both give and receive experience and advice.
If you want to find our host information we are Host number 6198.
This is my blog, A Green and Rosie Life, which is all about helping you live life that bit greener without having to build an off-grid log cabin in the woods or knit your own nettle fibre undies! It's about helping you make simple changes that together will make a big difference to our beautiful world and make it a better place for our children.
That site is a great idea! A good one to be listed on I expect. x
ReplyDeletesounds like a great idea - i'll bet you make some good friends too.
ReplyDeleteoh my god, what a fabulous idea. Damn it, I can't afford to get over to France at the moment or I'd be there, I miss it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck and I hope you meet and blog about many great people.
